Our Birdie Fave Summer Dress Patterns

Since the double release of our Handwoven Cottons and Block Printed Organic Cotton Batistes, summer dresses have been on our minds! Lightweight, breathable, and soft to the touch, our Handcrafted Fabrics are a no-brainer when it comes to achieving the perfect ruffle details, balloon sleeves, and head-to-toe voluminous silhouettes.

To help inspire your 2023 summer wardrobe, we asked five Birdies to tell us what dress pattern they can't stop dreaming about these days.
